Ain't gonna lie, I wanted Taylor Mays and was juiced when we picked him.

I wanted Jordy Nelson. Also wanted Vernon Davis, but who didn't after he blew up the combine.

I remember being pissed when we got Kentwan Balmer and Kwame Harris. My anger was justified.

McDonald is a bust? Not sure some will agree.

Jordy Nelson, BIG time.

I also wanted Janoris Jenkins, Fleener, and Randle ahead of AJJ in 2012. But, I also hated Alshon Jeffery and loved Stephen hill that year, so WTF do I know?

Hes not officially a bust i still see room for him to grow and become a better player. He might be better next season. But as of the moment hes a incomplete player. Fleener i think would have made more of a immediate impact since he knew the offense already. Him and Davis in my opinion would be more dangerous. And oh ya it would have meant WE NEVER GOT AJ JENKINS.

Years ago I was pissed we traded two 1st round picks to move up and draft JJ Stokes. My friends who were Raider fans told me what a great pick it was and I told them it sucked. Two 1st round picks for a possession receiver. We already had TO and Jerry Rice. Jerry was losing a step and could convert to a possession receiver and add years to his career with us. Why draft another. What a waste. Definately an I told you so.

Considering Stokes was drafted in 1995 and Owens was drafted in 1996, this story couldn't have happened like you remember.

Was hoping we'd take Keenan Allen last year.
